With all ballots counted, borough election unchanged

PALMER — The borough assembly will meet tonight to certify the Oct. 5 election, which means the final vote tally is in.

With all absentee, questioned and special needs ballots counted, none of the borough elections has changed from the initial, unofficial count released on election night.

To recap, that means the new assembly members are Warren Keogh and Noel Woods and the new school board members are Neal Lacy and Lynn Gattis. Susan Pougher won another term on the school board. Voters approved one set of school bonds but shot down the set that would have built new athletic facilities. They also shot down a change in the form of government to a strong-mayor system, a package of road bonds, and an attempt to exempt borough candidates from Alaska Public Offices Commission financial disclosure rules.
